NBA ReDraft Chat Thread

Nash was a solid pick, especially with the young developing PG in Jennings

 

I took another center, you can never have enough good big men, and Gasol is going to be a stud in 3 years (and better than his brother). His salary is under 4 million, which is huge for me since Yao makes almost 18 million this year

 

Sorry, but no.

[italstallianion]

While I certainly don't agree that Marc Gasol is close to as good as Pau, I'm not as high on Pau Gasol as other people seem to be. On another note, I think that Ytrb was one of the top teams thus far.

[yrtb]

Maybe I exaggerated a little, but I honestly think it will be close three years from now. Pau will be 33 and Marc will be entering his prime.

 

I like the pick of Rudy Gay, I almost took him with my last pick but then I realized that he got a big salary increase and I couldn't handle his salary

[italstallianion]

I'm also a huge Uconn fan, so I needed at least one Uconn player on my team. Now I just need a Spurs player and I'll be set.

[yrtb]

Wow, no Spurs are owned. Probably because their best players all have high salaries and are towards the end of their careers.

[italstallianion]

I sent a few of you guys my ideal pick for my next pick. I'm going to be out all day and my pick will likely come up tomorrow.

[boston22407]

damn i f***ed my team up bad with money ,hope i can get some research in so i can find some young talent with not a big name and price tag

[WhiskeyBreath]

After 2pm or so tomorrow, I won't be back online until Sunday afternoon. If any of my picks in either draft come up, just skip me to save time.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lol same here bro don't feel bad.

 

Edit:This message was intended for Boston.

[boston22407]

Ehhh, I don't think you did. Spending a lot of money on your starting rotation is a good move. They are going to log most of the minutes anyway.

Yeah, I should be on during the game finally. Seems like every other week I'm able to get on. SD seems like a trap game this week.

nice , yea thats what i been thinking too coming off a big win at home going on a west coast trip lots of young players on the team ,but then again SD has lots of injuries so who knows hopefully they win ,seems like whoever gates home field advantage in the afc will be key in the playoffs

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I picked Nelson because he's a shooter and can really fill it up if he's on. He's not a ballhandling guard, and he won't have to be on this team. He's a little expensive, but my picks thus far leave me some breathing room in that regard.

 

This makes Harden a sixth man.

[yrtb]

boston, how much salary have you used through the first 5 picks?

 

I've used over 60 million and I'm not worried

[boston22407]

$50,584.,500

 

guess im not in bad shape then :thumbsup:

[yrtb]

$34 million for your last 7 picks is more than enough

[Flynnatic10]

went with my 2 guys because Gallinari is only 22 and he can only get better. Jamal i went with because i needed a veteran leader. My oldest guy was D-will.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Maybe a bit of a reach but I'm in a bit of a hurry and didn't want to be skipped. Robin Lopez is 22 years old, a good defender (next to Al that's a requirement), and he'll get plenty of chances to show his stuff this year.

[YanksHater213]

I'm shocked Bargnani dropped to me. A former number one pick who has been blossoming in Toronto and should see a good spike without Bosh. He's a great complement to Chandler, a guy who can play with him too, come in and stretch the defense and shoot the long ball.

[italstallianion]

Yankshater, just in case you weren't aware, it's about to be your pick in the NFL redraft.

[YanksHater213]

I know, big man.

[italstallianion]

I was just making sure in case that one would login to make their pick for this league and then logout for awhile.

[Flynnatic10]

now that we have starting 5's forming, what are your rankings for each team?

[yrtb]

I'm liking my team a lot so far, but I'm a little worried about salary. I would trade Yao Ming for another center who makes significantly less money or Andre Iguodala for someone making less money depending on the player

[YanksHater213]

IMO the top 5 so far in no order:

 

WB

Kilo

Ital

Jacoby

Myself

 

Teams are gonna start really separating themselves now, it's pretty clear who is building the teams and who is taking the best player with no other consequences.

[italstallianion]

I think that I can agree with most of that.

[YanksHater213]

Also, I like YRTBs and B22407s squads, but I think they'd have a hard time winning games, not much defense there.

[italstallianion]

Now I feel the pressure because I have no idea who to take with my next pick.

[yrtb]

CP3, Iguodala, and Yao Ming are top 3 defensive players at their respective positions...and Roy is average defensively, I'm not too sure about favors.
